Abstract

The authors provide a list of key areas in relation to violence against women which they feel require the development of indicators, for both statistical purposes and for other forms of research. The list is divided into three areas: risk of victimisation and indicators of disadvantage and vulnerability; indicators of violence; and indicators of the criminal justice response.
